He is unmarried and very we'll off. His
brother says that when he left Akron he
took but little money with him, and

valuable, and some containing shipping
bills and invoices were found in his
desk.
Saturday Sheldon left Akron and went
to Cleveland. He registered at leading
hotel, but his brother failed to discover

Cleveland the missing man was traced
TO tnl9 CITY. he was SL Cne ManSiOu

The Repository as a Newspaper.

The prejudice and bigotry Of the Re-
pOsltOry Is not only manifested by the
abuse Of candidates on the Democratic
side, as was recently done towards GER
tain candidates, but they wiIlfully sup
press every item of news they can, per-
taining to the Prohibition party. When
we had cur county convention in jan
uary last, one of their reporters was at
the door Of the convention, but not
word of notice was given Of said con-
ventiOn, although 1t was one Of the
largest ever held In the county. This
week they besOught us for list Of our
city and township nominations, which,
as soon as we had completed, was given
to them as we'll as to the Democrat, but
not word or q name have they pub
llshed from that day to this In regard to
the nominations. Honest people take
no stock In such conduct from paper
making the professions Of the RepOsi-
tory. An honest man will respect others
who differ from him, but Towns upon
traducing character, or In willfully
suffering news Of the deliberations and
dOings Of men united for an honest and
laudable purpose. A PRoHIBITIoNIsT

THE GRAPHOPHoNE.

Another Wonderful Inv sntIOn by Profess
or Bell and Other Eminent Scientists.
Some years ago Edison discovered the
art Of recording and reproducing sound,
but his invention never came into prsc-
tical use because of Its clumsy mechani-
cal arrangement, coupled with the very
inferior and unsatisfactory method Of
recording the sounds produced. But 1t
remained for Professor Sumaer Talnter,
and the Bells, Of Bell Telephone fame,
to take up this invention where Edison
left of and carry 1t on to such high
standard Of perfection as to bring II
into practical use The machine is
operated on the principal Of the Ph0n0-
graph, is very simple and free from
mechanical complications.

Carp, the talented correspondent Of
tie Cleveland Leader, describes test Of
the machine, In the presence Of some
eminent Washington people, the other
day. He says the test was very fine one.
Two gentle ren, one acting as a lawyer
and the other as a witness, utilized the
orapbOphOne for taking testimony.
The gentleman spoke In ordinary tones
In the machine, one asking question
and the other answering 1t. A dozen
questions and answers were given.
Then young lady, who had not heard
what either party had said, came into
the room and took the testimony from
the graphOphOne and wrote 1t out. The
experiment was a complete success, and
no errors were made. Among the gen.
tlsmen present were some of the leading
stenographers of the country. These
men we're very enthusiastic over
the result. They said: I'VE can
